Pacific Poker is run by the largest online casino: Casino-on-Net (or 888.com), and that is the main reason why the games are quite good. The games are very loose and the stakes range from $15/$30 down to $.05/$0.10 games which are good for beginner who don't want to play with fake money. The sit N go's have buy-ins that range from $2.50 to $100 and the multi-table buy-ins range from $1 to $100.
Their signup bonus is good, it is 25% up to $100.
They also give you comp points for your play, for every $10 you wager, you earn one point for every 100 points, you earn a free dollar.
Player volume is very good, on peak hours 2000-2500 real money players and 4000 tournament players play simultaneously, which is among the top 5 sites. Most cash game traffic is concentrated towards the fixed limit Texas Hold’em games. There are also Omaha and Seven-Card Stud games being spread.
The rake is standard for the industry with a 5% max $3.Their software is pretty bad. The games are slow, though this may be nice for beginners. They have their software available in both flash version and downloadable. If you use a Mac, this is one of the few poker rooms you can play.
